To simplygrl;
First I would like to say that I hope you do not take any of the negative comments in this thread that have been directed at your “Sir” to heart. I think I can understand your situation (even though I am not Dyslexic) and I can understand your “Sir's” desire to have you communicate in a submissive manner. Method of communication is a very powerful element of any relationship, and managing that can be a very useful tool in fostering deep, long-term submission.
In your situation, there is obviously a conflict, but that does not mean either He nor you need to completely ignore His request simply because you have more trouble than another sub might have. That would be like saying to a blind person, “oh well, you are blind, so you can just sit at home and do nothing.” I know many people with disabilities, and being treated as a person with a disability is usually the most offensive thing someone can do to them.
Also, I would like to point out that even though you are Dyslexic, there are plenty of subs who are not Dyslexic who have faced this same challenge. I remember one women in my office saying “a girl” when referring to herself during an executive meeting. I do not think anyone else caught it at the time, but I did, and I had a conversation with her about it later. The things you can learn about people … *smile*
But I digress.
It might have been mentioned before, but one option could be to speak normally, but add a submission indicator in front of your speech. For example:
a girl says: “it is so good to see you Sir. I have missed you all day.”
a girl asks: “is there anything, Sir, that I can do for you?”
I have deliberately tried to move “Sir” around and use I instead of i. Also, if indicating “say” versus “ask” is difficult then even just “a girl speaks:” could be enough.
Another one that was mentioned and I would support as well is the idea of adding lines of text that are strictly intended to color the conversation with submissive indicators. For example, in a regular conversation you might say:
Hello, Sir, how was your day today?
My day at work was very hectic, but I feel much better now seeing you.
Okay, so I am not all that great at inventing non-slave girl dialogue, but hopefully you get the idea. When talking to your “Sir” however, you would say something like this:
*lowers her eyes*
Hello, Sir, how was your day today?
*peeks to him*
My day at work was very hectic, but I feel much better now seeing you.
*beams with delight*
The “speech” part of the text remains the same, and should not conflict with how you need to speak or write at work. But the *actions* add a submissive color that you are not likely to use in the office, and even if you did, you should be able to quickly recognize them and hopefully remove them from your work.
Now, if you add these together, you might get:
*lowers her eyes*
a girl asks: “Hello, Sir, how was your day today?”
*peeks to him*
a girl says: “My day at work was very hectic, but I feel much better now seeing you.”
*beams with delight*
Even with the actual English not changing at all, there is a lot of submissive indication added to this text (perhaps more than is necessary). You and your “Sir” can pick what is right for you.
I think it is great that your “Sir” is looking for alternatives that best fit your situation, and I hope that some of the information you find in this thread will be helpful to you in exploring this element of submission.
Good Luck!
